    Head gasket was replaced in May, 2010, so that would be around 375,000 miles ago. Oil and water are checked frequently. Water usually checked every 2000 to 2500 miles. Oil more often than that. These is no oil in water, no water in oil (that I can see) and no water in fuel.

    If you have egr, could be the cooler. If not, I'm leaning towards head gasket. A pressure check and oil sample should reveal the cause
